The monster explains that he is responsible for ruining the "awakening helmet" and that it has made Victor think he is in love with him. He says that Victor is still young, and that he does not understand true love. The monster tells him that he can take responsibility for his actions, but that he must hold himself back from seducing him again. He tells Victor that he has always regarded him as a child, and he also knows that it is the "pure and lovely little wang" that he loves. He asks if he can tell her about it, and she says that she will not listen to him if he tells her.
